Honestly..the simple things people do for you! Ah I just love them! ..
Recently I've been getting little messages here and there saying.. "You're beautiful"
It's such a small thing for him to do but honestly it's so nice & it literally makes my day 10x better! I couldn't thank this guy enough for his sweet words
Or when someone you don't know opens the door for you or gives you a smile.
Small tender mercies<3
Anyways..
I'm not really sure what to say! So many things running through my crazy mind.. Oh snaaappp! It's December in exactly 47 minutes..crazy crazy..
Which also means my littl sister is turning 11 tomorrow!? Holy cow!! It only seems like yesterday I was watching her rock back & forth in her swing watching little Einstein. How time flys..now she's already talking to me about BOYS! :0
To crazy.i don't believe it.
Anddd...yea. My mind is falling apart..and my eyelids are getting very heavy.
I miss someone. A lot. They should come home. Juss sayin!
Ill cya soon then.
My day couldn't get any worse.
With all the heart ache from today and the guy..it's nothing much.but my mind won't get off it. Annoying.
I hopped in the shower. Memories flooding through my head. Good memories of course. As they make their way down the time line to now they start getting twisted. I closed my eyes while The steaming water fell upon my head and when I opened my eyes and saw where my little brother use to sit when if help bathe him.
My heart couldn't hold together and my eyes filled with the biggest tears in the world. I was being cut with a hot knife.
In my head I thought to myself..
Why me? Why couldn't he just appear and spend a day with me? Just a day. That's all I was asking for. Just to hear his laugh and have his big brown eyes look into mine and have him smile.
As I knelt on the tiled ground in the shower a peace came over me. Almost as if it was my little brother coming to comfort me through my heartache. I realized I was being selfish. Yes. I miss him..more than anything actually. But I'm so grateful for prayer..even the smallest ones that we hold in our heart. I'm so grateful that I was born into this gospel and for the examples around me. I don't know how I'd handle my situations without it.
<3 <3
But for now. ~ill cya soon then

Little things
•. "Sometimes..' said pooh 'the smallest things take up the most room in my heart" .•
Cherish every moment. Remember every little thing. Even the tiniest things people do that make you happy. Because one day things could change and they don't do those little things anymore. Once upon a time I was in love. Once upon a time the boy did anything to spend every little moment with me. Now upon a time.. He doesn't.. You can tell by the way his eyes wander and he doesn't really keep intune with the stories I tell. The tiniest things. Remember them and hold them close. I miss his eyes looking into mine and listening so closely to every word that I spoke. Teen love. ~screw la la love.

I'm really trying my best to keep myself together right now.
This is the second Christmas without my brother. For the past few weeks I've just been having flash backs of when he opened his Christmas presents and the look in his eyes! He was SO happy! His smile could make your day for weeks upon weeks!
Our last family picture with him was one with Santa in the university mall. I still remember that day so clearly. It was near closing time and I wanted to hang out with this guy I liked and I just wanted to go home as soon as I could. I was so upset that I couldn't go hang out because I was taking a picture with Santa! What would I tell my friends?! But now. I am SO SO SO thankful we have that picture with santa.
Time is going by so quickly. Only moments and ill finally be in his presence again.
I'm So THANKFUL for that picture. My heart aches and cries. I can still remember how soft his hands were..how big his brown eyes were..his soft thick hair that only flowed one way. His laugh. His small feet that rubbed back and forth against eachother.
I miss you dearly
~ill see ya soon then

~another adventure.
....
Last night or i guess you could say this morning i had a BLAST with my cousins! Its the memories you'll never forget and the memories youll share with your kids type of memories we made last night!{ By the way..if you are reading this in mobile version I prefer you read it as web version to watch the videos!} As you know it was BLACK FRIDAY! woo! I have always wanted to go to black friday but have never had anyone to go with. Luckily this year I had my good ol' cousins to go with! Our adventure started with Mcdonalds where we got tons of magazines to look for the good deals and we pretty much just ate french fries..call us fat..but hey, it was still thanksgiving at that time! After Mcdonalds we went to the Mall and squished and made our ways through the stores. After the mall we headed to Old Navy in Orem. The most packed store yet.. the line wrapped around the whole store..literally. It took about an hour and a half or two just to make it through that line.but as we waited we all of the sudden started dancing like Napoleon Dynamite and from there we made the dance or "flash mob" < for next year! and we performed it in front of the store as people videoed us. Yes..itll soon be on YouTube from our great fans under ~ Black Friday Freaks Flash mob. We didnt get done shopping until 7 am and we finally went home! Never felt so happy to sleep! "So solid! All the days!"
I am so grateful for my family and cousins! sincerely meeeee
~Happy Black Friday
.keep calm and eat on.
So..it's been a great thanksgiving! I'm so thankful I get to come together with my family every thanksgiving and get fat together!:) I love hanging out with my cousins! I'm grateful for all the laughs we share! I'm so grateful I was born into this beautiful and happy family! ~happy thanksgiving my friends <3

Fireplaces, family, food, presents, smiles, hugs,laughs,lights,carols,love, trees, peppermint, candycanes, chestnuts, mistletoes,games & maybe even some cuddling hot chocolate and a great movie! Speaking of great movies! Reck it Ralph!!! I fell in love with that movie just like that! I've been thinking about my buddy wishing he was here with us again this Christmas! I remember his big tired eyes that morning and when he's open his presents he'd bang them on the ground and laugh so hard because he was exited. I wish I could watch reck it Ralph with him as well! Oh I'm sure he'd LOVE that movie just as much as I Do! Missing you joaquin!!

The Will of God
Today my home teachers came over to share this lovley message with us! ^
My step dad shared a story that made this message even more meaningful.
One month before my brother passed away my step dad Ricardo tore his Achilles resulting him
in a lot of pain and he had to stay home from work for a while. When this happened he thought to himself "why? why me? everything was going so good, my job..and with Christmas around the corner..how am i going to make enough money to give the kids a good Christmas?" He was very angry and confused on why this was happening.
One month later my little brother Joaquin passed away. That is when he got an answer to his prayer..
Heavenly Father "cut" down his tree to have him be able to step back and be able to spend time with his family and spend EVERY SINGLE day with his little boy before he left this earth.
I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have the gospel in my life and how much it has inpacted me and my family. I'm so grateful for my family and how much they help me in life. But what i'm also grateful for is the trials that we get. Yes its hard..painful and sad but in the end we come out as a stronger person.
~just thought id share this little message:)
